+What: /sys/firmware/acpi/bgrt/
+Date: January 2012
+Contact: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com>
+Description:
+ The BGRT is an ACPI 5.0 feature that allows the OS
+ to obtain a copy of the firmware boot splash and
+ some associated metadata. This is intended to be used
+ by boot splash applications in order to interact with
+ the firmware boot splash in order to avoid jarring
+ transitions.
+
+ image: The image bitmap. Currently a 32-bit BMP.
+ status: 1 if the image is valid, 0 if firmware invalidated it.
+ type: 0 indicates image is in BMP format.
+ version: The version of the BGRT. Currently 1.
+ xoffset: The number of pixels between the left of the screen
+ and the left edge of the image.
+ yoffset: The number of pixels between the top of the screen
+ and the top edge of the image.

+What: /sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/
+Date: February 2013

+Description:
+ There are separate hotplug profiles for different classes of
+ devices supported by ACPI, such as containers, memory modules,
+ processors, PCI root bridges etc. A hotplug profile for a given
+ class of devices is a collection of settings defining the way
+ that class of devices will be handled by the ACPI core hotplug
+ code. Those profiles are represented in sysfs as subdirectories
+ of /sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/.
+
+ The following setting is available to user space for each
+ hotplug profile:
+
+ enabled: If set, the ACPI core will handle notifications of
+ hotplug events associated with the given class of
+ devices and will allow those devices to be ejected with
+ the help of the _EJ0 control method. Unsetting it
+ effectively disables hotplug for the correspoinding
+ class of devices.
+
+ The value of the above attribute is an integer number: 1 (set)
+ or 0 (unset). Attempts to write any other values to it will
+ cause -EINVAL to be returned.

+What: /sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/force_remove
+Date: May 2013
+Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
+Description:
+ The number in this file (0 or 1) determines whether (1) or not
+ (0) the ACPI subsystem will allow devices to be hot-removed even
+ if they cannot be put offline gracefully (from the kernel's
+ viewpoint). That number can be changed by writing a boolean
+ value to this file.
